Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have finally sent out the 600 invitations to their eagerly anticipated May wedding after months of fevered anticipation.

Some 600 guests will attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding service at St George's Chapel before they all make their way to a lunchtime reception at St George's Hall, which is being given by the Queen.

Later that evening, 200 guests are invited to the private reception at Frogmore House given by The Prince of Wales.

The invitation stipulates a strict dress code with men asked to don military uniform - likely to be worn by Harry, a former solder who is now Captain General of Royal Marines - or a morning coat and lounge hat, with women asked to wear a day dress and hat.

The invitations to the wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have been issued in the name of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales

There is a flurry of excitement as Kensington Palace released a snapshot of the invites on Twitter

Barnard Westwood have been making Royal invitations since 1985, and Managing Director Austen Kopley said he was 'thrilled and honoured to be making them'

The people's wedding: Some 2,100 lucky members of the public will be allowed into the grounds for the wedding of the year at Windsor Castle

Who will be in Windsor Castle's grounds on Harry and Meghan's wedding day?

A Kensington Palace announcement at the beginning of March stated that the 2,600 people invited into the castle's ground on Harry and Meghan's wedding day will include:

· 1,200 members of the public from around the United Kingdom, nominated by nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices. The statement said: 'The couple have asked that the people chosen are from a broad range of backgrounds and ages, including young people who have shown strong leadership, and those who have served their communities.'

· 200 people from a range of charities and organisations which Prince Harry and Meghan support.

· 100 pupils from two local schools: The Royal School, Great Park, Windsor and St George's School, Windsor Castle.

· 610 Windsor Castle community members, including residents of Windsor Castle and members of the St George's Chapel community.

· 530 Members of The Royal Households and Crown Estate.

The invitations, posted this week, have been produced by company Barnard & Westwood, which has held a Royal Warrant for Printing & Bookbinding by Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen since 1985.

Using American ink on English card, the invites - on thick white card gilded along the edge - feature printed italic writing and are issued under Charles's name and bear his heraldic feathers embossed in gold at the top.

Each invitation was printed by Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, on a machine from the 1930s that she affectionately nicknamed 'Maude'.

The invitations are similar to the ones sent out for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding in 2011 - although these were in a different font and were issued with the Queen's royal cypher.

They featured the words 'The Lord Chamberlain is commanded by the Queen to invite....'

The invitations read: 'His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales KG KT requests the pleasure of the company of....... at the marriage of His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales with Ms Meghan Markle at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on Saturday 19th May, 2018 at 12 Noon followed by a reception at Windsor Castle.'

The royal couple will marry at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19, with millions of people expected to watch around the world.

They will then embark on a carriage procession around the Berkshire town, cheered by residents and visitors, before a reception at St George's Hall.

A smaller number of guests will join them at the evening receptions hosted by Prince Charles.

Standing about half a mile south of Windsor Castle in Windsor Home Park, Frogmore House has been a Royal Residence since 1792.

Frogmore House is where Harry and Ms Markle posed for their official engagement photos.

The location of the venue - away from the Castle - will offer the pair privacy as they celebrate with friends and family.

Palace aides have previously said that the prince and Ms Markle's wedding will 'reflect their characters and personalities' and be a moment of 'fun and joy'.

The Queen will attend, as will the rest of the royal family, along with Ms Markle's parents Thomas Markle and Doria Ragland.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are likely to take on the roles of pageboy and bridesmaid.

The royal family are paying for the wedding, including the church service, the music, the flowers and the reception.

But the security costs for the high-profile event are being covered by the state.

CALLIGRAPHY EXPERT MEGHAN

An example of Meghan's calligraphy which she posted on Instagram

American bride-to-be Ms Markle worked as a calligrapher while trying to pay bills as she auditioned for acting roles.

But the names of invited guests were added later by a calligraphy printer, the palace said.

Ms Markle wrote correspondence for Dolce & Gabbana and wedding invitations for clients such as singer Robin Thicke.

She has credited handwriting classes at school for her craft.

On her my lifestyle website The Tig, former Suits star Ms Markle described herself as 'a firm believer in handwritten notes'.

Harry proposed to Suits star Ms Markle during a cosy night in over a roast chicken dinner after a 16-month whirlwind romance.

In his engagement interview he told of how 'the stars were aligned' when he fell for his future wife, whom he met on a blind date.

The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby will marry the couple and the Rt Rev David Conner, Dean of Windsor, will conduct the service at the Castle's 15th century chapel.

The wedding takes place on the same date as the the 2018 FA Cup Final and, as president of the Football Association, Harry's older brother the Duke of Cambridge usually attends the FA Cup Final and presents the trophy.

Windsor Castle is less than 30 miles from Wembley Stadium and about an hour's drive – meaning that William would be away from the celebrations for a minimum of two hours if he was to dash off to present the silverware.

Last month, the second-in-line to the throne joked about whether or not he would be best man, quipping: 'He hasn't asked me yet – it could be a sensitive issue.'

He also said he is 'still working' on the date clash between the wedding and the football.

Meanwhile Meghan was whisked off to A-list favourite Soho Farmhouse for a two-night stay with some of her closest friends earlier this month - with rumours abound they had enjoyed an early hen do.

Two of Meghan's closest friends, Pilates instructor Heather Dorak and New York-based TV producer Lindsay Jill Ross are believed to have made the trip from the US for the weekend event.

Quality Street heiress Millie Mackintosh was thought to be in the running to be a bridesmaid at the wedding - but she was not thought to be in attendance at the weekend getaway.

Millie struck up a close friendship with Prince Harry's American fiancée after they were introduced in 2016.

Meghan has also cited the reality star as one of her ‘go-to’ friends to exercise with, and talk all things fashion due to their own clothes lines.

Other members of Ms Markle's high-profile girl gang including Serena Williams, actress Priyanka Chopra, Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and fashion designer Misha Nonoo, who are likely to be invited to her bridal shower.

Lottie Small, who recently completed her apprenticeship, printed all of the invitations in a process known as die stamping, on a machine from the 1930s that she nicknamed Maude

Kensington Palace announced the news on Twitter this afternoon and gave further details about the events taking place

CRUMBS! EAST END BAKER CHOSEN TO MAKE THE CAKE

The couple have chosen chef Claire Ptak, originally from San Francisco and the owner of London based Violet Bakery in Hackney, to make their cake.

Unlike the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who had an opulent eight-tiered fruit cake for their big day, Harry and Meghan have opted for a trendy lemon and elderflower creation that will be covered with buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers.

Claire only uses organic ingredients and is said to be Jamie Oliver's 'favourite' cake maker.

She started out on a market stall but has now been chosen to bake the royal wedding cake.

Meghan previously interviewed Claire for her former lifestyle website TheTig.com, which may be why the royal couple have chosen the baker to make their wedding cake.

The former Suits actress even features in the publicity for Miss Ptak's 2015 The Violet Bakery Cookbook.

Ms Markle could also extend the invite to royals and members of their inner circle including Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and Violet von Westenholz, Prince Harry's childhood friend who is believed to have played a role in introducing the couple.

It had been suspected that Harry and Meghan would select a banana cake for their upcoming nuptials because the Prince loves 'anything with banana'.

But instead they have gone for a lemon and elderflower creation to reflect their springtime wedding date.

Meghan is known to be a fan of peonies, which will be in bloom at the time of her Windsor wedding, and East End based baker Claire Ptak has used peonies on her stylish wedding cakes in the past.

Claire makes wedding cakes on request and Harry and Meghan's lemon and elderflower creation appears to be a unique custom design just for the royal couple.

Announcing the news, Claire wrote on her Instagram account: ''Kinda excited to announce this one! Violet has been chosen to make the wedding cake for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They both share so many of the same values regarding food provenance, sustainability, seasonality and of course, flavour!'

Her rustic baking style is a marked difference from Kate and William's traditional wedding cake, which was an eight-tiered iced fruitcake decorated with 900 delicate sugar-paste flowers.

How many tiers the next royal bride and groom will have on their cake remains to be seen, but what seems certain is that they are breaking with formal tradition.

And the fact they are eschewing fruitcake does raise another question – the top tier of a wedding cake is traditionally saved for the christening of a couple's first child. In fact, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (with great foresight) kept three tiers of theirs.

Inspiration for the flavour may come from close to home. Harry's father, the Prince of Wales, and the Duchess of Cornwall were presented with two lemon and Cornish elderflower sponge cakes on a visit to Porthleven in Cornwall last summer.

HOW WERE THE ROYAL INVITES INVITES MADE?

Using American ink on English card, the invitations are printed in gold and black, then burnished to bring out the shine, and gilded around the edge

The plate for the black text was engraved into copper whilst the plate for The Three Feather Badge of The Prince of Wales was a pre-existing die that was hand-etched into steel a number of years ago.

The process of die-stamping is an embossed printing technique, meaning the finished print has a subtle raised texture. To create this raised image, a piece of card was trimmed by hand around the area to be printed.

This is known as a 'force'. This pushes that specific area of the paper up into the engraved die so the ink can be applied.

Each invitation was then fed by hand into the press and the black ink printed onto the face. Once completed, the press was washed up and re-set ready for the gold print run of the crest.

To give the metallic shine that die-stamping is renowned for, the invitations were passed through the machine twice, once to apply the gold ink and a second 'burnishing' run (used to smooth out imperfections in the ink and polish up the image).

As a final finishing touch, the printed invitations were bevelled and gilded in gold along the edges. The bevelled and gilded edge allows the gold border to be viewed when looking straight down at the invitation as opposed to just being visible from the sides.

Austen Kopley, Managing Director of Barnard & Westwood, said: 'The wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle will be a truly special occasion and we are thrilled to be able to create equally special invitations for their guests.

'We are incredibly honoured to continue our longstanding work for The Royal Family, and to be involved in such an important moment for the couple and their family and friends.'

What we know so far about the Royal Wedding plans as Meghan and Harry prepare to tie the knot in May ceremony

Harry and Meghan have been revealing snippets of information via the Kensington Palace Twitter account about their wedding, which is to be held on the same day as the 2018 FA Cup Final.

Prior to the wedding, Meghan will be baptised and confirmed as a member of the Church of England. She is also undergoing the rigorous process of becoming a UK citizen that could alleviate US income tax problems and ultimately affect her net worth.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expected to tie the knot in 2018 and Royal Wedding plans are in full swing

Here's everything you need to know about the Royal Wedding 2018.

When are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle getting married?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding date has been set for Saturday, May 19, 2018.

The Royal couple will marry in a ceremony that is expected to last an hour, starting at 12pm BST and unlike most British royal weddings that are held on weekdays, Meghan and Harry will marry on a Saturday.

There is also speculation that because of Harry's close relationship with his grandfather, Prince Philip, who is now 96, the Royal Wedding has been pushed forward to ensure the attendance of the Duke of Edinburgh.

They are looking forward to the day and to being able to share their celebrations with the public and wanted to share the following details about their wedding on May 19th with you: pic.twitter.com/hZbn7reYCc

Royal expert Katie Nicholl said: 'He's incredibly close to his grandfather and, being 96, Harry thought it was a great thing to have the wedding sooner rather than later, so his grandfather could be there, fit and healthy'.

May 19 is also the day of one of the biggest English sport events of the year, the FA Cup Final and while Prince William, the President of the Football Association, usually presents the trophy to the winner, it has not been confirmed whether he will be caught up in the Royal Wedding to do so in 2018.

However, football fans have joked that while his wedding will occur on the same day, Harry has chosen the time of the ceremony specifically so it wouldn't clash with the FA Cup Final kick off at 5:30pm BST.

Where will the Royal Wedding take place?

Despite the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince William and Kate Middleton all getting married in Westminster Abbey, the Royal Wedding will take place at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Kensington Palace announced in February 2018 that the service, beginning at 12pm, will be conducted by the Dean of Windsor and officiated by The Archbishop of Canterbury, The Most Reverend and Rt Honourable Justin Welby.

Windsor Castle, which is located in west London, not too far from the couple’s current home, is one of Queen Elizabeth II’s main residences and is where the monarch first got to know Meghan.

St George’s Chapel will provide the historic setting that is reminiscent of past Royal weddings but is a more intimate venue than Westminster Abbey.

Prince Charles married Diana, Princess of Wales at St Paul’s Cathedral and had a small civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall to mark his marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles.

However, Charles and Camilla did have a blessing in the venue where Harry and Meghan will be married in 2005. Prince Harry was also christened at St George's Chapel in Windsor.

Where is Meghan Markle’s engagement ring from?

Meghan Markle’s engagement ring was custom designed by her fiance and was made by court jewellers Cleave and Company.

Despite rumours that Harry would propose with the Queen Mother's engagement ring, he decided to create the piece himself which included a centre diamond from Botswana, where the couple had visited in August 2017.

The two smaller stones set on either side of the main stone are in honour of Princess Diana as they are from her collection.

Meghan Markle’s engagement ring was designed and made by Cleave and Company

In Meghan and Harry's iconic first interview with the BBC, the Prince said: 'The ring is obviously yellow gold because that's Meghan's favourite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the little diamonds either side are from my mother's jewellery collection, to make sure that she's with us on this crazy journey together.'

According to Andrew Brown, President of WP Diamonds, the three carat cushion cut diamond with two stones that are 0.5ct to 0.75ct each, has an estimated value of over $50,000, but because of the royal provenance, could sell for $500,000 to $1million.

Who will design Meghan Markle’s wedding dress?

Meghan will wear a hand-stitched, heavily beaded design by British label Ralph & Russo to walk down the aisle at St George’s Chapel in front of 600 guests – and an estimated billion TV viewers worldwide – as well as for the reception being held afterwards by the Queen in St George’s Hall at Windsor Castle.

She will change into another dress for a second, black-tie evening reception thrown byPrince Charles at Frogmore House in the grounds of Windsor Great Park.

A source revealed that the dress would cost around £100,000, which will be met by Prince Harry and his family privately.

Who will Meghan’s bridesmaids be?

Meghan Markle's bridesmaids could include the likes of stylist Jessica Mulroney, daughter-in-law of Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Serena Williams is also thought to be in the running, herself having married Reddit's Alexis Ohanian in 2017.

However, Meghan is unlikely to ask her estranged half-sister Samantha Grant to be a bridesmaid.

Who is Harry’s best man?

While royals usually have a supporter rather than a best man, there is a strong possibility that William will return the favour for his brother after Harry supported him in 2011 during the last Royal Wedding.

Prince Harry has been an usher in a number of his friends' weddings so his supporters could also include Guy Pelly or Thomas van Straubenzee, but this has not been confirmed.

Who will attend the Royal Wedding 2018?

St George's Chapel was chosen as the official Royal Wedding venue because Harry expressed his preference of having an intimate wedding and something different to what is seen during the grand events held at Westminster Abbey.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte are expected to be page boy and flower girl, especially after their starring roles at their aunt Pippa Middleton's wedding. Another potential flower girl could be daughter of Meghan's close friend Jessica Mulroney, Ivy, who was regularly featured on the actress's Instagram before it was shut down.

About 600 guests will attend the ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. Hundreds more have been invited to the grounds of the castle to enjoy the festivities.

With Harry's desire for the Queen and Prince Philip to be in attendance, the wedding will be smaller than other royal weddings but is still expected to welcome a number of famous faces.

Despite Anthony Joshua joking about being Prince Harry's best man and asking if Meghan had 'any sisters', the guest list is a closely guarded secret that will not be revealed until the attendees arrive at the Chapel.

James Corden is set to attend the royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as well as two of the receptions slated for the day, according to TMZ.

Those who will be invited into the grounds include charity patrons, leaders and founders of social enterprises, reflecting Harry and Meghan's shared interest in humanitarian work.

Philip Gillespie from Ballymena who lost his right leg in an IED incident in Afghanistan will attend, as will Amelia Thompson, 12, from Sheffield who witnessed the Manchester Arena bombing.

Top politicians, even those who are friends with Harry, failed to make the cut.

Barack Obama and wife Michelle, Donald Trump and Theresa May will all be absent from proceedings.

Royal wedding schedule

After the ceremony at 12pm at St George's Chapel in Windsor, the newlyweds will embark on a carriage procession that will pass Castle Hill, High Street, Sheet Street, Kings Road, Albert Road, Long Walk and then reach Windsor Castle.

A reception will also be held at St George's Hall for the couple and the rest of the congregation before a private evening reception for close family, hosted by Prince Charles.

Will the Spice Girls perform at the Royal Wedding?

Mel B may have hinted at a Spice Girls reunion taking place during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Royal Wedding. The 42-year-old appeared on American day-time talk show The Real on February 28, 2018, at which time she was asked about plans to attend the ceremony.

The former pop star confirmed that she would be in attendance, a fact that was meant to remain a secret, before dropping a few more hints about a possible performance.

Loni Love, one of The Real's co-hosts, asked Mel B: 'Do you know anybody that you think is gonna go to this wedding?' to which Mel nodded her head and said, 'Yeah, I'm going...I don't know if I should've said that!'

Mel B was then asked whether any of her high profile friends would be at the Royal Wedding.

'Well us five Spice Girls...why am I so honest?' she said.

The Real hosts quickly caught on and began digging for more information. Asked if they'd be performing during Prince Harry and Meghan's big day, Mel B tossed her hands in there air, adding: 'This is where I'm just like...I need to go. I'm going to be fired!'

Meghan is said to be a longtime fan of the Spice Girls. Reps for the actress and her Royal suitor did not immediately respond to MailOnline's request for comment, however.

Will we get a day off when Prince Harry gets married?

While the Royal Wedding date was under speculation, many hoped that it would occur on the Bank Holiday weekend of May 26, 2018 and give Brits a day off work.

However, the day was confirmed as Saturday, May 19 and will be the first Royal Wedding to be held at the weekend. Pubs will also be permitted to apply for longer opening hours to allow revellers to continue celebrations later into the night.

When did William and Kate get married?

Kate Middleton and Prince William got married at London's Westminster Abbey on Friday, April 29 and the British public were given an extra Bank Holiday in 2011.

Royal wedding invitations - as seen here on that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's - have used a similar format through the years

Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson took their vows in Westminster Abbey in July 1986

Edward and Sophie's invitation represented a similarly formal affair, and they too said their vows in St George's Chapel

Which other famous faces can we expect to see at Meghan and Harry's wedding?

Ellie Goulding

Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, he said: 'I spent some time with him in Sicily last summer and I could tell that he was totally in love, and he didn't really discuss much personally but he said, 'I'm in love' and I thought, 'Good for you'.

'Both those boys seem to have been ecstatically happy, and that's all you want people to be.'

She said: 'I'm going. I don't know if I should've said that. Us five Spice Girls did [get an invitation]. Why am I so honest?'

Mel wouldn't divulge what the invitations to the big day looked like as she felt that was 'too personal', but talk quickly moved on to whether or not the band would be performing at the reception after Harry and Meghan have officially tied the knot.

Reunited: Mel B has claimed the newly-reformed Spice Girls (pictured left to right, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Horner and Mel C) will perform at the wedding, but Mel C says she was joking

'She's really excited': Ellie Goulding 'IS on the guestlist for former flame Prince Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle' after remaining 'good pals'... as 'three famous exes get invites'

By Becky Freeth for MailOnline

They are believed to have shared a kiss at a polo party in 2016, after texting back and forth for two years.

Yet Ellie Goulding is said to be 'really excited' to see one-time flame Prince Harry wed fiancee Meghan Markle in May this year after landing a very special invite.

The 31-year-old singer will reportedly join a gaggle of his exes - including Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy - on the guestlist, after remaining 'good friends' with the Prince.

Still friends: Ellie Goulding is believed to be invited to Prince Harry's (pictured here in September 2014) wedding later this year

A source told The Sun newspaper on Thursday: 'Ellie has stayed good pals with Harry and is obviously really excited.

'She has no plans to perform this time but just wants to celebrate her friend's marriage. Princess Eugenie is a close friend so she'll fit right in.'

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Ellie Goulding for comment.

Blushing Ellie skirted the issue of romance in October 2016 when she was asked outright about the rumours on TV, by The Project host Carrie Bickmore.

'Please don't let me go red. I'm bright red,' she said. 'Why did I have a feeling that was going to come up? You naughty people.'

Ellie was believed to have been quite 'taken' by Prince Harry when she invited him to perform at the closing ceremony for the inaugural Invictus Games in 2014.

Two years later, onlookers at the Audi Polo Challenge 2016 claimed that they had even been 'kissing' under a blanket during a post-polo event.

It's believed that Ellie will be attending Prince Harry's wedding, which will take place at Windsor Castle in May, with her boyfriend Caspar Jopling, 26.

She will reportedly join two of his other former lovers, Chelsy Davy, 32, and Cressida Bonas, 29, in receiving an invitation to his big day.

The Love Me Like You Do hitmaker sang at the reception of the prince's brother, Prince William to Duchess Catherine in 2010.

Did they? Ellie has never denied claims that she was seen kissing Prince Harry after an Audi Polo Challenge event in 2014

Other celebrity guests expected to be at the wedding include Sir Elton John, who famously sang at the funeral of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, and the Spice Girls.

Mel B recently claimed the reunited girl band will be performing at the wedding.

She said: 'I'm going. I don't know if I should've said that. Us five Spice Girls did [get an invitation]. Why am I so honest?'

Mel wouldn't divulge what the invitations to the big day looked like as she felt that was 'too personal', but talk quickly moved on to whether or not the band would be performing at the reception after Prince Harry, 33, and Meghan, 36, have officially tied the knot.

The star didn't verbally confirm the news, but once the question was asked she threw her cue cards into the air, which prompted the show's hosts to cheer.

Mel then added: 'I swear I'm just ... I need to go, I'm going to be fired. I'm gonna be fired.'
